Sold in packs of five, these reliable Type I tapes come with protective cases and labeling tools, making them perfect for everyday analog recording enthusiasts seeking affordable, quality blank media. ## Description The Maxell Ur-90 Audio Cassette Tape Is Great For Everyday Recording. It Has Low Noise Surface Which Provides A Suitable Media For Music And Voice Recording . The Is 60 Minutes Of Recording Time Or 30 Minutes Per Side. This Cassette Toe Is Ideal For Personal And Portable Cassette Players, Includes Protective Case Review: They work great with minimal noise for Type I tape, but cases may arrive damaged - These tapes are pretty nice! Finding new blanks that are relatively affordable and decent quality isn't the easiest thing to do, and these are a great baseline for just that. 45 minutes on each side is plenty of time for most things - it's a comfortable length for mixes or possibly even two shorter albums. Quality control on the tape itself has been good so far, I've only used one pack but all 5 tapes have been consistent without too much noise and no real need for Dolby NR. I've noticed that these tapes don't saturate quite as well as others, though - if you like to push your recordings for that extra bit of tape saturation when you play them back, these simply don't do it very much (to my ear). The cases come with stickers to label your tapes, and the paper insert has a tracklist section on the back and a spot to label the spine. The tracklist is a little short - 9 entries per side is generally not enough for mixes full of 3-5 minute songs, and you may have to double up if you're particular about labelling everything like I am. My biggest gripe with these is the clear cases - in shipping, they tend to get damaged and may crack. I got lucky and only had one that broke, and thankfully the case is still fully functional but looks kinda bad. I know other reviews have had the same problem, though. If you're planning on listening on a high quality deck with full speakers, you may benefit from Type II tape, but for casual listening in the car or on a portable player, these will work great for your homemade tapes. Just make sure you have a half-decent deck to get the most out of your recordings. My biggest gripe with these and the reason why I've only bought them once, is that they're kind of boring. At this point, if you're listening to tapes, you're in it for the nostalgia factor of actually having a physical thing holding your favorite music. This particular brand of tapes just doesn't have much character aesthetically or sonically, which is good or bad depending on your taste. I've since turned to buying new old stock on ebay and it definitely scratches the itch more. Just something to consider if you care how your tapes look and feel in your hand. If you need decent, cheap, brand new blank tapes, these are a pretty solid option! Review: Good tape - Good tape, works well ## Features - Great For Everyday Recording.
